It feels like working in limbo. Everyone’s just waiting for the next round of cuts, going through the motions. It was never fun here, but it used to be friendly. Now nobody talks, everyone’s just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It’s so draining that getting laid off almost sounds like a relief.

@g9 "doesn’t represent the masses"
did you mean the masses of employees or customers?
because both of them are really unhappy
Everyone is totally miserable waiting on the layoffs pkg. It's very unhealthy with new leaders who have no clue about the business. KTLO mode
@OP After 30 years, I've been asking to get laid off to make a spot for one of the younger employees so they don't lose their job. But FIS doesn't want to pay the severance I guess.
I worked with key accounts and was told to hide SLA misses and contract breaches on a regular basis. When I was laid off, I told all of my clients about these and how they were affected. Hopefully with my lay off, several key accounts will go too.
You must be upper management or have blinders on if you think this site is a minority opinion.
@g9 I think if you really got the majority opinion, what's been posted here would be mild
I have never heard the words 'it has never been this dysfunctional' so many times and even from many levels above me
@ga I think everyone would be too scared to be honest and FIS would be a great place to work……
@g9 hey Bob T, why dont you run the forgotten annual employee survey then and see what the masses think
@dg I totally agree, layoffs are the nature of the beast and not just at FIS. I think sites like this give the minority a voice and doesn’t represent the masses.
@OP I have 30+ years at FIS and layoffs are just the nature of the beast. Old Clients go and New Clients come, that's normal business and will never change. I am not particularly an SF fan, but stock goes up and stock goes down, you just have to buy low....like now.....and hang on for the ride.
@ca Ha. yes, so many super duper initiatives down the memory hole.
Atelio? what's that? quietly dropped wthout a word
@b4 it's not just the layoffs alone.
unfortunately, layoffs are a part of corporate life
it's that they pis*ed away that money on Future Forward, Atelio, mckinsey....
these were all giant $ initiatives that failed, brought internal chaos, and are driving client attrition and lost sales
Stephanie is not the right fit, and the last 3 years have proven it.
She does not have the respect of the employees, customers, or the stock market
No one at the top cares what customers think or if stuff actually works
Want proof? See the customer attrition.
The stock analysts should ask
I wonder how much travel and expense mckinsey has billed us
i bet this alone is a bug number. have to fire people to pay for it
so many wasted $
The firm I worked for before it was acquired and for FIS, layoffs have always been a sad part of the business. They are always shocking and leave mixed emotions, but just get on with what you do and don’t dwell, there will be more but what can you do.
